All black skin for late war Porpoise sub(?)

Flaskegaard · 07-07-23, 10:42 AM

Greetings,

I'm trying to find an all black skin for late war model Porpoise class subs. I found one for the Gato class by Lt. Commander Lare, and for the Salmon/Sargo class by Bismark1011, but haven't found one for the Porpoise class. Is there one out there?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the photo! I was kinda hoping to find a black skin to add to my Porpoise sub here in the SH4 game.

You could use vickers03's FOTRSU 1.8 Sub Skins in 4k, grabbing just the Porpoise Black out of there, and then change the "Date \Roster \American \Submarine \SSPorpoise.cfg" entry to only choose the black skin. You also have to change the "Data \UPCData \UPCUnitsData \UnitParts2Porpoise.upc" file to only call the one texture for all the UnitParts sections in the file. You could also keep the Stock file by editing that same Roster & UnitParts cfg & upc files. By 1944 though, most subs were painted light grey on the sides, or were in the process of getting it. That was Measure 32/33 paint. You are wanting the original war scheme of Measure 9... It would be best to create your own mini-mod to experiment with, for easier de-activation if needed...

Of coarse, floating around Mare Island (over my left shoulder in distance, abaft of Cal Maritime Academy training vessel Golden Bear) in a 'all black skin' is hardly necessary these daze!

How many horsepower is that 'motor' at your disposal there, young sir??
